ArchivesThe Pleasant Pond PiratesBy Christina Nyquist on Wednesday, August 16, 2006.The sound of the ice cream truck's jingle is certainly familiar during the summer, but a couple of young women in Deerfield have come up with another, less common way to peddle frozen treats. Every weekend, 16-year old Onni Irish and her friend Philomena Duffy pilot their ice cream boat to residents on Pleasant Pond. They call themselves the Pleasant Pond Pirates. NHPR's Christina Nyquist caught up with the young entrepreneurs as they packed up their skiff for their route around the lake. listen: No audio currently available. Order on CD (pdf).

Manchester Mills: England vs New EnglandBy Shay Zeller on Wednesday, August 16, 2006.Tonight on the Front Porch, we're examining the culture surrounding Amoskeag Mill. The manufacturing center was largely modelled after the mills in Manchester, England. But soon after the first bricks were laid in the 1830's, the resources and labor practices developed very differently here than they did abroad. We'll compare the lives of the mill community in New England to its counterpart in northwest England, and we'll look at how their differences reflect on today's manufacturing culture. Our guests are: Sandra LeBeau, independent scholar, and adjunct associate professor of European and American History at Colby Sawyer College Russ Thibeault, president of Applied Economic Research. Thibeault grew up in Manchester, both his parents worked at the mill; his company has done studies on mill site's feasibility as a mixed use location at the end of the 20th century. ***This interview originally aired June 12, 2006*** listen: No audio currently available.
